I'm so glad you have footage of Greg Bahnsen. Do you know if there was ever video taken of the Great Debate?

[gregbahnsen]

I am relatively sure that there is unfortunately no video of that debate, though all subsequent public debates were recorded on video.

to kev3d-You misunderstood him. He was referring to Christ's coming in judgement upon Jeruselem in the year 70AD. There's an entire doctrinal postion regarding that 'coming in judgement by Christ' among reformed Christians.

[DetectiveTackett]

You're begging the question.

[kev3d]

If Skepticism was as deep rooted in the cultural zeitgeist as myths, legends and superstitions, not only would there be no religions, but there would also be no palm readers, psychics,tarot card readers or astrologers. Everything from Santa to the Easter Bunny to Jesus Christ is embedded from an early age into our collective heads. As for christ's return, he said it would happen in the lifetime of the disciples...as far as I know, there are no 2000 year old jews running around.

I do believe there is a tendancy in history for people to put forth beliefs that suit there purposes, and these could potentially fall into myth/legend/evolutionary type stories.

Christianity is not a self serving faith. It begins on a personal level by acknowledging utter dperavity and helplessness.

[dent3138]

The Christian foundation for induction doesnt rest on likleyhood, rather it is held that the laws of nature will hold until Christ comes again.

You claim have a predisposition to myths and legend, I dont think thats accurate...Skepticism =300 BC ish...

[kev3d]

At some point one has to answer what is more likely? That the sun will rise as it has since there has been a sun and an earth? Or that it will not, especially with no reason (no sightings of large meteors). So with christianity, what is more likely? That the laws of nature were suspended for a time? Or that stories were exaggerated over the years and given people's predisposition to legends and myths, believed the stories to be true? All my experience tells me the latter.
